Ten
years ago, Dr. Tak Mak thanked the 60K walkers with these meaningful words: “We
have planted the seeds—and they will grow!” Recently Drs. Tak Mak and Dennis Slamon
announced a major breakthrough in the decade-long pursuit to develop a new
class of "sharpshooter" cancer drugs. This news is incredibly hopeful
in our fight to end Cancer. We ARE winning and we’re so close!

In
case you missed it, the press release announced “that the new drug, CFI-400945
will enter clinical trials phase in the months ahead. In the lab, this drug has
been shown to effectively inhibit the growth of human breast and ovarian
cancers, as well as colorectal, glioblastoma, lung, melanoma, pancreatic and
prostate cancers”. What that means for my fellow walkers and me is that the
promises made so many years ago are beginning to come true!

How
can I not devote my time and energy to raising funds for Cancer research after
hearing this fantastic news? This year I’ve decided to go back to Montreal for
my 60K walk. I was there a few years ago and met and walked with many of the
top research people from the Jewish General Hospital so I can personally vouch
for their passion and commitment to rid the world of this terrible disease.

May
I humbly ask you to sponsor me again on my 60K Walk. I feel the most important
gift one can give today is the hope that the world might soon be free of
cancer. You know that I’ll be carrying your prayers and wishes with me every
step of the way. If like most of us, you’ve come face to face with cancer then
you’ll know how truly important it is to support research. And considering how
really close we are, anything you pledge will really, really help.

If
you are pledging on behalf of someone specific, please indicate their name on
my web page (or email it to me at bibs.soles@ivanhoecambridge.com.
I promise to carry
the name with me during my walk. We’re almost there … Please help.

With
gratitude,

Bibs

This isn’t
just my journey – it’s yours, too. Make it a Weekend you’ll never forget.
